20 of Europe’s most innovative hardware and IoT start-ups

The internet of things (IoT) represents the intersection of hardware and everyday objects with the fixed and wireless internet. Many believe this will bring about the next industrial revolution (Industry 4.0).
When it comes to innovation, European start-ups have it in spades. Much of this is owed to a fine engineering legacy that goes back hundreds of years, from Tim Berners-Lee inventing the World Wide Web in 1990, to advances today in 4G and soon 5G.

Industry 4.0 creates what has been termed “smart factories”. The term represents the digital transition in manufacturing from embedded toward cyber-physical systems. With Industry 4.0, production shifts from a centralized to a decentralized model, symbolizing an impactful reversal of the traditional approach. With connectivity and smart devices providing the foundation, disruptive innovation areas ranging from 3D printing to advanced robotics and predictive analytics have made the shift toward Industry 4.0 all but reversible. With a market value of €185 billion by 2022, companies addressing the emerging opportunities imminently are acting prudently.
